PREPARATION
Choose allies who can counter Ice and Light abilities.

- If at all necessary, have party members with innate Reflect/Absorb/Void/Resist Ice and Light talents.
- If you can’t, make it a point to protect their weaknesses during combat.
|
Attach Nahobino with affinities that nullify Ice and Light.

- Nahobino can implant skill potential from essences via the Divine Amalgamation Miracle.
- Add affinities to Nahobino that can Reflect/Absorb/Void/Resist Ice and Light.
|
Demons with Fire and Elec skills should be added.
|
- Add demons who can use Fire and Electricity talents to your active party in a similar way.
- Use Essence Fusion to extract certain skills from demon essences if they don’t have access to them.
|
Max your Magatsuhi Gauge
|
- Additionally, make sure your Magatsuhi gauge is fully charged.
- It helps to have it maxed out before a match to set up your offense.
- In addition, having the Miracle skill Magatsuhi Wellspring will grant HP and MP recovery to your party at the start of each turn.
|
Carry HP and MP recovery items
|
- Bring HP and MP recovery items before fighting the boss in case your party runs out of HP or MP during the battle.
|
Assign Nahobino’s physical, fire, and electrical skills.

- Make sure to import Fire and Electricity skills if you can in order to exploit the weakness of the boss. Otherwise, you can rely on your ally demons to have those skills for you.
- To add, complement your offense with strong Physical skills like Aramasa.
- Support and Passive skills can boost your damage if still have skill slots.
- Recovery skills are optional if your active party members do not have these skills. This is to sustain the party during battle.
